Are you saying a Neon will run 11's with only a head conversion? Hardly... it takes a lot of work to get a Neon to run 11's. A lot!!! A head swap may net 20 HP or so on a Neon at most, more with other parts at the same time. I had a 125 shot of N2O on my '95 ACR equiped coupe and still ran a 13.8, traction limited of course. Search a bit on the web for some of the larger Neon shops. I happen to like Captain Nemo's and Forward Motion parts.

IF YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT NEONS, GO TO A NEON FORUM! Kid, if youre that concerned with having an 11 second car to brag about, a Contour isnt it. Even a 12 or 13 second car will dominate most. You "would rather have a ricer i know is made for performance"??? Ricers are made for economy, thats why theyre so cheap. Sure you can mod them, but do you want a 2 liter engine you have to rev to 18k rpm to get 20lbs of tq from? How about a lumpy cam idle in everyday driving?

A fast car is nothing without a good driver. No matter what you do, its still a ricer at the end of the day :rolleyes:

FYI: Ive beaten Preludes, Mustangs, Maximas, Civics, Neons, 325is etc

With the 3.0L the best run I ever made was against a 95 GT Stang with a S/C. We started at a roll and I jumped on it in 2nd gear. He never had a chance and was really mad that he got beat by a all motor Contour smile
